Why Choose a Whole–House Dehumidifier?

As we mentioned above, a whole–house dehumidifier is the preferred method of dehumidification for, well, an entire house. If you just need a single room dehumidified for some reason (maybe a musty dorm room, or a small studio apartment, for instance), then a portable dehumidifier may suffice. When you’re looking to dehumidify your whole–house, however, you are not going to want to go that route.

Why not? Well, convenience is a major factor. With a whole–house dehumidifier, your system will be set up to drain via a condensate drain line. You won’t have to be emptying out a reservoir of water throughout the day, every day. These systems are also a lot more effective, being integrated into your central HVAC system, and they are more efficient, meaning that you’re paying less for better dehumidification!

Who Needs a Whole–House Dehumidifier?

Well, I don’t know—my home doesn’t seem too humid. Do I still need this system? The answer may be no. While it is quite obvious that any homeowner in our area is going to benefit from the use of a whole–house air conditioning and heating system, a dehumidifier is not as clear cut a need.

There are a number of factors that will influence the overall level of humidity in your home, including the airtightness of your house and the number of people living therein. There are also a number of different warning signs that may raise red flags regarding excess humidity in your home, however. Keep the following in mind.

• Difficulty in cooling your entire home effectively.
• Trouble with mold growth or mildew odors.
• Wood rot.
• Warped floorboards or wooden fixtures.
• Wet spots on carpets/stains on walls.
• Aggravated allergy/asthma symptoms.
• Overall mugginess throughout the house.
